Inventor: GLEN ROBERT DUNCAN
IPC: B63B3/38
Filed: 1997-06-04
Abstract: The invention provides drive means for a boat comprising a propeller (32), a
propeller shaft (30) and a motor (28) for driving the propeller shaft (30), the motor (28)
and at least part of the propeller shaft (30) being housed within a cavity (20) defined by
a keel portion (18) attachable to or forming part of the hull of the boat. The motor (28)
has flexible connectors (37) for connection to an engine or power pack (38) whose
position with respect to the motor (28) can be selected or adjusted whilst remaining
connected to the motor (28). The invention also provides a method of converting an
existing boat into a boat incorporating such drive means, comprising the steps of
forming an aperture in the hull of the boat corresponding to the shape of the keel
portion (18), adapting the keel portion (18) to the shape of the hull and attaching the
keel portion (18) to the hull so as to close and seal the aperture. The provision of drive
means of this type removes at least some of the components of the drive means from the
interior of the boat and provides additional directional stability to the boat.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for increasing the sensitivity
of a diagnostic test for the detection of a nucleic acid of an infectious agent in
pooled samples of liquid biological material, characterized in that the
nucleic acid is selectively precipitated by adding a precipitating agent,
whereby the preferred precipitating agent is polyethylene glycol in a
molecular weight range of 1'000 to 10'000 at a final concentration of 1 to 5 %
(w/v). The precipitation efficiency may be increased by the addition of mono- or
divalent salts. Preferred examples of such salts are NaCl or KCl,
preferably these salts are added so that the final salt concentration is 200 to
450 mM, most preferably 270 to 325 mM salt. The invention also relates also
to the use of the said method in a diagnostic test as well as to kits which are
useful for practicing the said method.

Abstract: A stone metering system for a railroad track
maintenance vehicle providing improved accuracy in stone
delivery. The system includes a surge hopper (24), a number
of metering augers (26), and a corresponding number of
splitters (28). The metering augers (26) convey ballast stones
from the surge hopper (24) to the corresponding splitters (28),
which divide the stones evenly between a number of blow
tubes (30). The pitch of the auger screw flights (40) is increased
from the inlet (46) end of the screw to "expand" the stone and
reduce the production of fines. In addition, the
diameter of the final screw flight is reduced at the
outlet end (48) of the auger (26) to provide a consistent and even
flow of stone into the splitters (28). The splitters (28) are
dynamically adjustable to provide even distribution
between the blow tubes (30) regardless of the cant to the
rails. The desired amount of stone is delivered to the
tubes (30) by rotating the auger screw (40) the number of full or
partial revolutions associated with the amount. In an
alternative embodiment, each of the metering augers (26) is
replaced by a conveyor having a belt divided into a
series of uniformly sized compartments each conveying the
same quantity of stone. The desired amount of stone is
delivered to the tubes by driving the belt so that a
desired number of compartments are emptied into the
splitter.

Abstract: A printer (40) is provided with a transmit electrode (52)

cartridge (42) located therebetween. The transmit and
receive electrodes act as two plates of a capacitor, with
the toner within the toner cartridge making up a portion
of the dielectric between the two capacitor plates. An
oscillating transmit signal (64) is then applied to the
transmit electrode, and a signal corresponding to the
capacitance between the opposing electrodes is detected.
The changing capacitance due to the changing toner
quantity causes a change in the received signal. The
value of the received signal is then converted into the
quantity of toner residing between the opposing
electrodes, and this quantity is displayed to the user.
Arrangements of transmit and receive electrodes may be
employed within the printer to not only sense the overall
quantity of toner but the distribution of toner within
